THE LAKE DWELLERS. AMPHIDI0U3 LIFE WHICH SOME INDIANS OF MEXICO LEAD. Fccnliar Formation of tho Slrxlcan Lakes?Nature's Tloatlns Gardens, t'islilas For Frojs, I'olywogs and Flics . to Earn a Scanty Livelihood. - ^ J- il.~ 1..1 I ' IjOOKing WW?nl? me uiihtuik.- nut K.ui^ut Bight of the spires of u small town on tho margin of tho water. Inquiring of a Mexican friend, ho saul: "That is ChaK-o, lying at tho head of lake navigation, once a very notable place. The town is now dead," or dying, killed by the railroads. Ont o it. was the point of shipment of the products of the tierra ealieuto, and great quantities of rum, sugar, grain and tropical fruits were transported thenoo to Mexico, twenty-five miles distant, in Hat-bottomed boats, profiled by the Indians with long polos. Then- are some reminders or' tho traf.ic yet, but a foreignci would prolxibly find r.?oiv interest in t!ia Indians, who live in a kind of house made of l veils, and almost floating on tlie water."' -My friend could not have suggested an excursion more apropos to the mood of a person deeply interested i:i tho iudigenous races ami their customs. In two hours' time I had descended from my crow's not on the hill to the lake end was negotiating with the head man of the town for a canoo and a couple of stout Indians to take me to the pueblo of tho Lako lhvoilers. And hero a first surprise awaited inc. Tho lake which I had seen glistening in the sun from tho elevated post of observation nowhere appeared when 1 arrived at its margin. In its place was a vast expanse, extending for miles, of reed::, swaying und drifting before tho breeze. Herds of cattle waded and wallowed in this sea of green, feeding 0:1 the nutritious aquatic plants aim gr;isscs, aim tin ir fine condition and sleek hides showed that this amphibious life was not uncongenial to them. A narrow waterway loads from the town, disapjiearing slowly among the iveds, and upon this wo embarked ia the Indian's light chalupe. As wo passed along this canal I noticed that the water was clear and pure, but the bottom composed of a spongy lied of vegetable matter. In some places the Indians Lad to get out and pull the canoe post the long barges, laden with wood, on their way to Mexico, and which entirely monopolized the narrow channel. Their weight would submerge what appeared to be, a moment Ihjfore, firm ground. When the loaded barges ttuckfasfc their swarthy conductors had the habit of getting out and springing tip and <1, nn tins vnwt.ihle mass. at tko noint of adhesion, securing thus two or three feet of water where none lied been before. At times there would come to my ears strange and mournful sounds from the encircling reed meadows. ' Boatman! What sounds are those like tho moaning of persons in distress?" "Nothing, scuor! Only the chatting of fishermen and the laughter of children." Their statement turned out to be correct. At intervals we caught glimpses through tho tall reeds of intricate passageways, just largo enough for the entry of a very small canoe. In these canoes were women and children engaged in fishing and the other iudustrics peculiar to the lake. It was their conversation and laughter, filtered through tho forest of reeds, that produced the mournful sounds before alluded to. "Uut what kiud of fish do they catch.'"' wo next asked. "Mainly frogs, polywogs, worms and iu sects, senor!" was his surprising reply. It w:is difficult to believe juy ears, but suJw Bequcnt investigation proved this to be tho main industry of the Lake Dwellers, apart from their peculiar agriculture, of which I shall speak later on. Tht rearo three species of frogs inhabiting the lake. They arc propared for tho table, with suitable condiments, and aiv sold extensively oven among the wellto-do classes, being especially jxipular during Lent as a substitute for animal food. Tlio spawn of tho frog, and the little animals so ridiculous and reiiu^iant to civilized tast?>, popularly called jwllywogs, aro only useit among the poor, and are served on leaves of nioi'.o. But the insect industry surpasses by far the frog catching business. There is a sort of water fly, called by the Indians axuvacatl, which frequents tho lakes in prodigious and which is peddled to-day through tlio streets of Mexico with the shrill stru t cry,'Tlies for Irlnl food." As tiie number .of birds kept in private houses i> very large, a single family often possessing twenty <-r thirty, the tly trade i? correspondingly bri'.k. The insect is about t'.ie size of a grain of rico, has six legs, swiias on the water with great force and rapidity, and though it b.is wings lias never been known to uso tlicm. When caught they are cither dried or knoaded into a paste, cooked in water with sale, and eaten with much relish by the natives. The eggs amllarvajof this interesting creaturo havo equal value. The Indians plant the stems of reeds in the shallow parts of the lake, a!tout a yard apart, so that the upper end shall project above the surface. Tho female of tlio axayacatl dojwsits her eggs upon those severed layers deep, so that they not only cover tho reed stalk, but also haug'in bunches from it. At regular intervals they are collected, ?lri? ?l on mats, and these form tho mark' table products calkil ahuantle. This, ground and fried in lard with tun's eggs, makes a dish very much 1:!:" IKh mi l is much uvl win 11 thopreerpts of roiigioa prohibit flesh eating.

This dclioata dlili i< called puxi, and is considered veiy nourishing. As wo nrarcd tho littlo Indian village of Yico, which was to by our point of d'.itination, the boatmen became communicative, complaining bitterly of a kind of l!<?.^tin^j mass of reeds and grass, called voudok-ro:!. Those floating banks have a thickness ranging from half a yard to a yard and a hair', and are eomi*tsod of the woven roots of plants, living and dead, the remains of t ho creatures that inhabit them, the mud of tho lake bottom, and dust brought l?j* the wind. {Solidly lenit together and of less density than the water, they shift from point to point wnk the winds and currents. It is dHlicult to account for their formation; but nature works with swh skill in their construction, a no: giv^s thorn such solidity that, in times 01! drought, the natives transport their cattle to them for pasture, and the banks sustain tho weight, only yielding an l sinking under foot 11 little?as would be natural.?21e::ico Cor.
